It is not only valuable to external resugarers. Another point that warrants an introduction of it is for unevaluated lambdas. These lambdas e.g. appearing as part of the `using Alias = decltype(lambda)` could carry a requires expression and thus evaluating it requires the recovery of the instantiating template arguments for the type alias, which isn't a quite natural thing without such a Decl. I have improved some of these situations through an on-stack InstantiatingTemplate to help to inspect the template arguments; however, that approach is somewhat cumbersome and still couldn't extend to other scenarios e.g. mangling these lambdas. (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/97024. We need a correct DeclContext for the lambda, yet a `TypeAliasTemplateDecl` isn't a DeclContext, unfortunately.)
